Björk‘s new album – Biophilia – is now available for your listening pleasure via NPR’s First Listen series. The album, which is also available in the form of an interactive iPad/iPod app, is perhaps the artist’s most experimental work to date. Not known for her shyness in the face of technology, Björk has created an immersive multimedia experience for Biophilia.
Here’s how the folks at NPR describe the album’s background: “Björk’s latest and most ambitious project yet, began as a collection of songs written around themes of nature, science and humanity’s relationships to both. For most artists, that’d be a lofty enough concept on its own. But Björk heavily researched astrophysics, string theory, neurology, biology and other areas where science and music meet.”
With a description like that, and a personality like Björk, there can be no doubt that you’re in for a treat. So, head on over to NPR and have a listen! Biophilia will be released on October 11th.
